Really interesting infographic: How Green are African Cities?

(Thanks Mark from Sustainable Energy Africa)

Pretoria, what’s going on with your waste there buddy?  Someone needs a bit of help with recycling me thinks…  Or maybe Joburg is sending all their waste to Pretoria, that’s their waste diversion plan. Har har.

 

Cape Town is very middle of the range…

This is from the Siemens African Green City Index.  More info can be found here at Future Cape Town.  An infographic is only as good as its input data, which I haven’t seen.  It is a really nice way of showing comparative info though, and CT’s electricity consumption per person is fairly in-line with other sources I’ve seen.__
